Unfortunate phrases..
Have you, or a friend, every said something inappropriate, but in an amusing way?
I say this, because one of the girls at work went off on Maternity leave on Friday. As she left work with a friend (I was close behind), the friend said to the woman "'ere's your ride home". I was half expecting a car. Didn't see one. What I did see (and what the friend was pointing at) was a horse drawn hearse.
Something which my mate (standing next to me) took great delight in pointing out.
She apparently thought it was just a horse drawn carriage.

Re: Unfortunate phrases..
I used to work for Do It All.
I worked in the garden centre, one day the dippy tart at reception  called me to mix some paint,
I started to say to the customer "Can I give you a hand", but only got as far as "Can I give you a Haaaa".
The customer only hand one arm. |

Saying to my friend next to me as I was pouring the drinks and hovered over her glass, "Top up or top down"?
Everyone started laughing and I was there for ages wondering what was going on.
Come to think of it, would have been nice to see her top down actually  |

Re: Unfortunate phrases..
Bloke I knew came into work one day years ago and saw a woman with a black eye.
Jokingly he asked if her old man had bashed her.
She ran off in tears, apparently he had

Re: Unfortunate phrases..
I went into work one day last year with a hangover. One of the guys looks at me with a grin and says "sore head mate?". Next second he walked into a door banging his head.

Re: Unfortunate phrases..
After a couple of drinks I made the mistake of trying to say the rhyme " Mrs Hunt had a rough cut punt" in front of the wife of my boss.

Re: Unfortunate phrases..
A friend of mine was in having his eyes tested the other day, when he heard the optician say to a VERY large lady, "" Okay Mrs xxxxxxx could you lean forward and rest one of your chins on the bar please?"
Made me laugh!

Re: Unfortunate phrases..
One of our waitresses took some meals out to a table and one of the guys was quite plump. There had been a little delay so she said 'I'm sorry about your wait', One of the guys said something back like , it's ok he's been fat for ages so is used to it.
Worst one I did was when selling cars, I asked the chap was his mother coming for the test drive as well. It was not his mother but his girlfriend as he pointed out.  |
